Questions 22?3
Whenever she considers voting in an election to
select one candidate for a position and there is
at least one issue important to her, Kay uses the
following principle in choosing which course of
action to take: it is acceptable for me to vote
for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine
on at least one issue important to me whenever I
disagree with each of the other candidates on
even more such issues; it is otherwise
unacceptable to vote for that candidate. In the
upcoming mayoral election, the three candidates
are Legrand, Medina, and Norton. There is only
one issue important to Kay, and only Medina
shares her opinion on that issue.


23. According to the principle stated in the
passage, in the upcoming mayoral election
(A) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for either
Medina or Legrand, but it is unacceptable for her
to vote for Norton.
(B) the only unacceptable coursed of action are
for Kay to vote for any of the candidates.
(C) it is unacceptable for Kay to vote for any of
the candidates.
(D) the only unacceptable course of action is for
Kay to vote for Medina.
(E) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for any of
the candidates.


答案B。 可是我不明白。

题目是说the course of
action is acceptable :候选人在至少一个重要问题问题上和她的意见相左是可以接受的， 如果她更不同意其他的候选人意见。否则unacceptible。那也就是说如果她的意见和那人相同或者其他的候选人的意见她不见得更不同意的话，就是 unacceptible。

现在M和她意见相同。因此是unacceptible.

明白了，我忽略了it is otherwise
unacceptable to vote for that candidate 这句话。

谢谢。

我认为本题有两个难点:1.关于OTHERWISE的理解 2.合理理解

1.OTHERWISE:它本身含义为"除此之外" "在其他情况下".具体到本题干,IT IS OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE TO VOTE FOR THAT CANDIDATE应理解为:在其他情况下,她不会投那个意见和他不同的候选人的票. 结合前面的话,它的意思是:如果某个候选人和她意见不同,她投他票的前提是其它候选人和她有更多不同意见,如果不同意见一样多或更少,则她不会投他票.(本句子只说明投不投和她意见不同的候选人的票的问题,没说明和她意见相同的候选人的问题,由此带来下面的问题)

2.合理理解:首先我声明,从LSAT的严密性讲,我认为该题不够严密,但从美国人的常理讲,还过得去:谁会去投和自己不同意见的人的票,却不投和自己意见相同的人的票.除非他脑子有毛病.所以,本题干说到底就是:即将到来的选举,她只会投Medina的票.故B为答案(楼主的选项是错的,第六楼才是对的)
